    Indiana gold won as a team smashing Illinois in the final 45-15.  Undefeated wrestlers were....113 Seltzer, 120 Littel, 126 Mendez, 132 Viduya, 138 Frieje, 152 Noehre 170 walker and 195 Silas.
    Silas also won MOW. 7-0 6 pins and a tech fall.

    This event doesn’t get enough love in my opinion. I do realize that the number of states coming is not as it once was. Still some good wrestling! 
    Indiana gold is stacked! Great shot to win it. Has Indiana ever won it?

    Definitely have. There’s a lot of mixed emotions about it......but it aligns with our goals in an awesome way!  They’ve also adopted the UWW weight classes/age divisions.  So that makes Silas a Cadet for both events.  They’ll be some very tough kids to contend with, but we like Silas’ chances in having the opportunity to represent the US at Pan Am & UWW.
    Its almost redemption of sorts.....and on a grander scale so to speak.  Silas likely would’ve won Cadet National Triple Crown last summer if not for the knee surgery after his Folkstyle Nats title.  Very discouraging falling short of those goals due to circumstances outside of our control.  So the opportunity he’s presented to compete within his age group at the World level this year.......genuinely feels like God’s reward for a certain level of “perseverance”. 😏  Looking forward to the possibilities this summer will bring.

    Asa reminds me a lot of Cash Quiroga- never afraid of a challenge seeking out the best competition. 2 state champions on that list of losses and possibly the best to never win a state title in Indiana in Ty Mills. Fantastic career.

    I want to honor Asa for a terrific career and wish him the best at IU. I was talking to family members and we were trying to figure out who all Asa lost to in high school. I believe he had 6 losses as Frosh, if I remember right his only loss was Viduya as a Sophomore (maybe I’m wrong), and he had 4 as a Junior (I know Rooks at least 1), and obviously 1 out of state this year. Can someone help me out with some of his losses in previous years?

    Have to admit......I entertained the idea with Silas.  But ultimately.....had I done so, I would’ve outwardly been setting an example of athletics overriding academics.  And that’s a major breach of the Allred’s household priority line.
    Being fully transparent.....Regardless of my sons success through relentless hard work, I still frequently think on the “what if’s”.  He could legit be a sophomore right now and not such a young junior.  Increased accolades in-state and Nationally would undoubtedly be attained.  But ultimately....if athletics isn’t the back up plan to education/career, we’re setting our kids up for misaligned values.  Make no mistake.....Silas plans to take the sport as far as his health, work ethic and God allows.  But one reality we’ve embraced.....is that the events of tomorrow can never be fully predicted.  And in retrospect......being young for his class and having to work harder to compensate for the age gap, has likely benefited his long term success and character much more than any medal could.  And rest assured, as it pertains to the topic of age/success/recruiting......programs are very aware of an athletes age/projection. So in most instances.....being young and successful is even more appealing to recruiters.  And that “success” I refer to here.....goes far beyond what an athlete accomplishes in their particular sport.  Character & Classroom has to come first.
